Abstract
This research article attempts to study Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye from the perspective of Self Negation and Politics of Aesthetics in socially deprived Black Community of America. Along with looking at the denigrated social hierarchy of these Black people, the paper also endeavours to chalk out the fact that it is not that the whole of the Black community is revelling in self-loathing, there are examples from the community itself that are the paragon of self-confidence and absolutely in sync with their physical appearance. The paper goes in to substantiate the importance of family in making a child firmly rooted to the ground and keeping her in her senses. The paper concludes with the repercussion of such negligence by the family, specially the mother
